About: The John Jay Homestead is the retirement home of statesman John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States and the second governor of New York (between 1795 and 1801).

It was built by him in 1801, and five generations of his descendants lived there until the 1950s. In 1958, it was acquired by the state, renovated and refurnished with Jay-family heirlooms, including a collection of portraits by American artist Gilbert Stuart. The homestead was designated a state and national historic site in 1981.
